So, we says to 'em, "Guys, listen, if you want to do this thing and get in bed wit us, then yr gonna need to write us some real big hit songs and yr gonna need to never stop touring". They told us to fuck off on both counts but went ahead and did 'em anyway... Since Meanderthal was released in April the band has done something like 11 weeks on the road in the US doing various stints with label mates Harvey Milk and Clouds, a full summer tour with their new friends Boris, as well as a dates with the Sword. They're the newest to our family, but they've been remarkable at keeping it IN the family as well...up next they co-headline Europe and the UK with Pelican in to early October, and then two week later head out again in the US, but this time headlining for the first time since the albums release. Clouds are the partners in crime for the entire run, while Coliseum and Black Cobra split the the tour as support. Squeezed in there somewhere in early November are their debut set of dates in Japan with Coliseum in support.
